Please kindly note that nagios-plugins-2.1.4-2.el6 is BROKEN.
Just try to crate a dummy file ( > test.ok ) and test it. You will get File not found, CRIT. error.

(I'm fixing this for 2h now, thats to all auto-appliend ERATAs, 12 serveers done, 5 to go)

Comment 18 Steven Schlegel 2017-01-04 07:31:27 UTC
I am facing the same issue like "xsoft" told before. Last night the package "nagios-plugins-file_age" was updated to version "2.1.4-2.el6.x86_64". Now the Service-Check is broken in Nagios.

Nagios-Output:
Status Information:	CRIT - FILE_AGE CRITICAL: File not found - "/var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_report.yaml"

File does exist:
ls -la /var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_report.yaml
=>
-rw-r----- 1 root root 407130 Jan  4 08:08 /var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_report.yaml

Check should return: OK


Steps to reproduce:
touch /var/tmp/steven.txt

ls -la /var/tmp/steven.txt
=>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan  4 08:22 /var/tmp/steven.txt

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -f "/var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_report.yaml"
=>
FILE_AGE CRITICAL: File not found - "/var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_report.yaml"


Regards,
Steven

Steps to reproduce (fixed typo):
touch /var/tmp/steven.txt

ls -la /var/tmp/steven.txt
=>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan  4 08:22 /var/tmp/steven.txt

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -f "/var/tmp/steven.txt"
=>
FILE_AGE CRITICAL: File not found -"/var/tmp/steven.txt"

Comment 20 Steven Schlegel 2017-01-04 09:10:34 UTC
I found out that the filename contains another char at the beginning and on the end:
# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -w 7200 -c 10800 /var/tmp/steven.txt 
=>
$VAR1 = '"/var/tmp/steven.txt"';
FILE_AGE CRITICAL: File not found - "/var/tmp/steven.txt"

So I made a quick change to the script (cut off all quotation marks from $filename):
[...]
foreach $filename (@filelist) {
        print Dumper($filename);
        $filename =~ s/"//g;
        print Dumper($filename);

        unless (-e $filename) {
[...]
}

After running the script again, the output changed from CRITICAL to OK:
# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -w 7200 -c 10800 /var/tmp/steven.txt 
=>
$VAR1 = '"/var/tmp/steven.txt"'; <--- before regex (print Dumper)
$VAR1 = '/var/tmp/steven.txt'; <--- after regex (print Dumper)
FILE_AGE OK: /var/tmp/steven.txt is 5 seconds old and 0 bytes  | age=5s;7200;10800 size=0B;0;0;0

I think the quotation mark (") is used as a part of the filename, so I would suggest to include a regex to remove that char from $filename.

Regards,
Steven

The quotations marks seems to be added quite deliberately in the code:

--- begin code snippet ---
$opt_f = shift unless ($opt_f);

if (! $opt_f) {
        print "FILE_AGE UNKNOWN: No file specified\n";
        exit $ERRORS{'UNKNOWN'};
}

$opt_f = '"' . $opt_f . '"';
--- end code snippet ---

So removing the line at the end of the code snippet above should work, but before doing that it would be interesting to know why it was added in the first place...

Comment 22 xsoft 2017-01-04 09:22:44 UTC
Easy fix (bad escaping, white space)

# diff check_file_age check_file_age.working
80c80
< #$opt_f = '"' . $opt_f . '"';
---
> $opt_f = '"' . $opt_f . '"';

Comment 23 jan horacek 2017-01-04 09:24:39 UTC
i think this bug is not related to this specific bug, but anyway, quickfix is:

[root@anr ~]# diff check_file_age check_file_age.fixed
80c80
< #$opt_f = '"' . $opt_f . '"';
---
> $opt_f = '"' . $opt_f . '"';

When using "glob", perl needs double-quotes around the filename.

See: http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/glob.html
Quotation --->
"Note that glob splits its arguments on whitespace and treats each segment as separate pattern."
<--- Quotation

So removing / uncommenting the line "$opt_f = '"' . $opt_f . '"';" is not an option to me, because it breaks / splits the filename at every whitespace:

touch Steven\ Test.txt
ls -la Steven\ Test.txt
=>
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0  6. Jan 08:01 Steven Test.txt

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -f /root/Steven\ Test.txt 
=>
FILE_AGE CRITICAL: File not found - /root/Steven


So I made the following changes to check_file_age to be able to check files with whitespaces and without:

--- begin code snippet ---
$opt_f = '"' . $opt_f . '"';

# Check that file(s) exists (can be directory or link)
$perfdata = "";
$output = "";
@filelist = glob($opt_f);

foreach $filename (@filelist) {
        if ($filename !~ /^\./i) {
                $filename =~ s/"//g;
        }
        unless (-e $filename) {
--- end code snippet ---

If $filename contains a whitespace in it's name, then we want to keep double-quotes around it. If $filename does not have any whitespace in it's name, then we trim off all double-quotes.

Test with whitespace:
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -f /root/Steven\ Test.txt
=>
FILE_AGE OK: /root/Steven Test.txt is 11 seconds old and 0 bytes  | age=11s;240;600 size=0B;0;0;0

Test without whitespace:
/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_file_age -f /root/mysql_install.log
=>
FILE_AGE OK: /root/mysql_install.log is 15 seconds old and 32187 bytes  | age=15s;240;600 size=32187B;0;0;0

I am not an expert, I just want to share my thoughts with you. ;)


diff /home/sschlegel/check_file_age /home/sschlegel/check_file_age.fixed 
87a88,90
> 	if ($filename !~ /^\./i) {
> 		$filename =~ s/"//g;
> 	}
115d117
<

I think we should create another bug-ticket, because it's not related to this one (like "jan horacek" said).

Regards,
Steven

There already is another bug roport already filed for the current problem
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1410039

Upstreams fix is almost identical to what "Steven Schlegel" proposed
